  Hey,.

  I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?

  Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.

  If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.

• Activation of Windows 7 on an SSD with the same product key.

  Original title: forget to disable Windows 7 key before moving.

  Hello, here is my situation (I've seen another thread like this but I have more specific questions)

  I have a laptop and it was the key to license Windows 7 Pro SP1.

  I recently bought an ssd and learn all about meet the key but I guess I was happy to install the SSD so I forgot to Deauthorize the key.

  I installed the SSD on the same computer laptop and use the same key to activate a few moments ago.

  It seemed to have worked, but he's coming back to haunt me in the future? Or I'm good?

  You could say that I activating me the part on the same physical machine and therefore, exercise was not necessary?

  Thank you

  As long as the old hard drive is removed from the laptop, you should have no problem.

  If you want to go a little further temporarily remove it the SSD drive, connect the hard disk, the boot of Windows (does not need to be connected to the Internet) and open a prompt (run as administrator) and quick entry:

  slmgr - upk and press the Enter key

  Wait a few seconds for the command to run, and then quit the command prompt.  The option - PUK uninstalls your product key from the hard drive.

  Shut down the computer, remove the hard drive, install the SSD drive and your all ready for departure.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
